The Universe Goddesses

The Universe Goddesses is the first picture in my Mother Earth series of work that I am currently working on. It started out with an idea of the times of the day. The mysterious night, the in between of dawn and dusk of the day and the light of the day. The first goddess is one with the night she is partly covered by the night. The second is beginning to see the change in herself with the start and end of the day. The third balances the earth and life on the planet. From her springs the life on Earth. She carries the planet and walks the earth with her creatures.

This picture contains sheet music, stamps, papers, watercolor pictures and acrylic paint. They are combined to create the composition. The painting was created recently during personal transition for me and my family. I personally love the mystical and the color of life. Adding each element to the painting is the fun of the work. I hope you enjoy this series of work.

About Me

I am a colorist, a painter. I believe that we humans are symbolic beings. Fine art collage is a delightful medium. Watercolors are the most beautiful medium for the pure use of pigments on paper. I start with a color idea, a vision and the and the work evolves into a composition with color as the primary subject. While traveling, I paint watercolors en plein-aire, these are incorporated in my collages. I also like fantasy visions using symbols, icons and humor. My paintings are the way that I view the world using my imagination. I am a self taught artist and teacher celebrating magic and the love of life.
